Norwich City will host Watford at Carrow Road on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have endured a sluggish start to life under new boss Johannes Thorup and find themselves 15th in the Championship standings with just five points from five matches.
They were beaten 1-0 by Swansea City in their last game, falling behind after just four minutes following a Forson Amankwah own goal and failing to find a way back into the game despite creating multiple chances to score.
Watford, meanwhile, have performed well this season and are making an early push for the promotion playoffs. They played out a 1-1 draw against Coventry City last time out, heading into the break a goal down before Tom Dele-Bashiru levelled the scores midway through the second half with his first home league goal since last August.
The visitors sit fifth in the Championship standings with 10 points from an obtainable 15 and will be looking to add to that tally come weekend.
